Detox can be a very emotional and physical process, we design it to be as comfortable, safe, and healing as possible. Treatment programs are always designed with the client’s best interests in mind. Therapy is tailored to support their recovery goals.

There is a thorough assessment performed before each client begins detox treatment. During that time our team can gather a comprehensive understanding of the length of substance abuse, the family of origin, spiritual needs, physical and mental health along with the client’s history. This process allows us to create the most individualized plan possible.

Addiction treatment is a unique experience for each specific individual. We take the needed time to develop individualized plans to address each client’s distinctive needs. As we say at BRC Recovery is, “The more specialized the treatment, the more positive the outcome.”

The patients are observed 24 hours per day, 7 days per week by BRC Recovery medical and clinical staff. The members of our staff are trained to manage to reduce psychological and physical withdrawal symptoms whenever appropriate. A medical assistant team is overseen by our Director of Nursing to work to manage all medical needs and medication of our clients.

The detox process can be an uncertain and emotional time for families and clients. We make sure to provide continual support throughout the whole treatment process. The end goal is lasting recovery, by pairing each client with a devoted case manager who serves as a point of contact and recovery advocate, making client transition much easier.

The three steps of education is a place where a critical part family dynamics play, the roles family members will need to play moving forward.

Significantly, everyone has an opportunity to voice their concerns. Normally this process is very difficult and emotionally draining. During this time, a trained interventionist is needed to mediate any disagreement that arises and keep the conversation on track.

Most interventions are a success, but some do fail. According to the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence, over 90% of people who attend a professional intervention, more than 90% of those individuals will commit to seeking help. The intervention can fail for multiple reasons such as:

It is best not to host the intervention in a place where the loved one doesn’t feel protected. The individual will succeed better if they feel comfortable and vulnerable. It will be beneficial to find an environment where the individual will feel the most open-minded to maximize the chances of support.

The intervention process is a very difficult one. While it might not be easy to approach the individual, it is not impossible. The most certain chance of success is if the intervention is performed while the person is sober.

Individual therapy can be very intimidating for individuals suffering from addiction. However, the same rule goes for people experiencing group therapy. The most effective approach would be to confront the loved one on a one-on-one basis to have the most desirable result.  

If the family member comes to the loved one in a confrontational, defensive, or aggressive matter, it will only have them retaliate back. The person is already experiencing a very troublesome ordeal so bringing more angst only worsens the problem. Interventions are the most successful when family members and friends offer nonjudgemental assurance, understanding, patience, and compassionate support.

Once the individual agrees to attend the intervention, it is common to feel the task is over. However, by being improperly prepared, numerous things can go wrong. Once the intervention occurs, an almost immediate submission should take place.
